It's not that complicated! See the NCAA!

Posted by Joe Johnson on 04/11/2001 8:48 AM EST:



Why is a true national championship with real qualifications to get there so complicated? The FIRST community never seems to learn anything from the much more popular, and much larger world of sports. Colleges (hundreds of them) make last minute plans to get to the next regional or national championship. High Schools win at district events and have 1-2 weeks (or less) to get to the state championships.

FIRST could easily pre-arrange hotel and flight arrangements (at an attractive rate due to bargaining for a single deal with such high volume). Once the teams qualify all that would be needed is a set of names and each could make financial arrangements to pay the airline/hotel vendors.

And besides this would force FIRST to deal with the issue of obtaining assistance/support from airlines and hotels and make the cost of FIRST more reasonable. This has been promised but never done.
